How about freedom from oppression? Maybe the freedom to work and earn a decent wage? Freedom to supply your family's nutritional needs? Freedom from the government's total and absolute control of your life? Countless Cubans have risked their lives for over 50 years to achieve it. How long is enough?  Ice cream for 4 cents?  How about freedom of speech and expression? How about freedom from oppression? Maybe the freedom to work and earn a decent wage?
